That was in no way a legal hit, he blindsided the defender and thrusted his body upward leading with his damn helmet. I said this when it happened and this was just a god awful call. If there was a video you could put on, on how not to hit a player across the middle, this would be it. If he would have just kept his shoulders forward and not stopped, planted his feet, and thrusted upwards with his head then it would be legal, but the fact he did not was clearly illegal and he should have been fined more then this or suspended._________________Future Starting Safety for the Cowboys

or just kicked out of the league entirely, and be banished from any AFL team or CFL team, and if he has any kids they will be banned from any football activities also.... Does that sound as outrageous and completely out of line as you saying he should be suspended for this hit?, give me a break waremd._________________Adopt-a-Hawk

This kinda play has happened to the Seahawks. Jon Ryan got blasted against the Bears not really even close to the play and there was no suspension or fine, and none of us complained about it. We just laughed and said Ryan got nailed.

You don't see a big deal when Sidney Rice took a helmet to helmet on the field wheres the all powerful Goodell to fine that player?!

I could care less to be honest but if your going to fine Golden Tate for a great block then you sure as heck better fine a guy going for someones head.

That hit was shoulder to shoulder. There was nothing remotely illegal about that hit even though it was against a defenseless player.

What was wrong with Tates hit again? I didn't know you could be blind sided from a player you were covering like 4 feet away from you and even though Tate went Parallel he got right in front of him before making the hit.

Tate never came from behind or from the side to hit him.

The rules say nothing about from what direction the hit comes from. The word they use is "approach." Had Tate "approached" Lee from the front, then it would have been fine, but he didn't.
